Question

I’m using MOQ with tdd, i’m comfortable with the simple mock objects. Now moving on to the complex objects(i.e., objects containing other objects as properties ). i have problem creating mocks for three scenarios.

1. when the method being tested wraps a static method.

2. when the method being tested wraps a read only property.

3. when the method being tested calls another method belonging to the same class.

how do i create mocks for them.how do i resolve these scenarois, are could i go foreward changing the implementation of the tested method.?

any suggesstions will be helpful.

thanks.

Answer 1

There are two ways around this. 1) introduce the necessary levels of abstraction, that will let you mock/stub as needed or 2) use TypeMock Isolator, which will allow you to mock almost anything through some clever (too clever, some say) IL re-engineering.
